handmade in Italy
Handmade in Italy... this was my wish from the beginning. Working closely together with passionate craftsmen to realize our collection.
From my professional career as furniture / industrial designer and experience of about 20 years working together with high-end Italian manufacturers and furniture companies I knew that bada&bou will be in very safe and professional hands here.
​
From my first sketch to the first production batch took almost 3 years. It was a long but very rewarding process - in close collaboration with the craftsmen in order to test and evaluate shapes and function and define every single detail.
From the typical bada&bou sleepy eyes that are sewn by hand to the most resistant and perfectly balanced seams to (sometimes nearly invisible) details that guarantee smooth and safe rocking or rolling.
​
After several years working with the same family run manufacturers, thousands of satisfied customers and not even a handful of retoure (!) I'm convinced that it was the right path to take.
Local production and passionate craftsmen, who create our toys with love and care, equip our bada&bou animals with everything to enable wild play and soft cuddling for many years, and make them truly unique.
